Can anyone tell me how to sew decorative stitching (sometimes called  boot stitch) on a belt.  Do you go by a pattern or just free hand.

 

Thanks for your help.

I have occasionally  done decorative ( hand) stitching on belts, but I made a  pattern first  . I  make a pattern on  tracing paper, then carefully mark out the pattern on the leather belt. I have only done free hand on rare occasions on the machine........ if I'm feeling adventurous :) .Free hand takes practice, but its fun .

Some may have a  CAD.....machine...... thingy  .   Takes all the fun out of it  :yes: but handy if theres multiples of the same item  to be stitched.
